PETTY VANDALISM.
DETACHMENT OF the Yellowstone Geysers by
Shallow-Minded Visitors.

Shallow-Minded Visitors.
1t is pity that the wonderful natu-
raj attractions of the Yellowstone Ma
tional Park can not be preserved from
vandal hands for future generations.
From the report of Captain Moses Har-
ris to the Secretary of the Interior, it
would seem that the geysers of the Yel-
lowstone, as well as the game, needs
protection.
at is apparent from the most casual
observation that the means heretofore
employed for the preservation of the
natural objects of wonder and beauty
in the Park have been entirely inade-
quate. 1t may be said without exag-
geration that not one of the notable
geyser formations in the Park has
escaped mutilation or DETACHMENT in
some form. Those that have been most
fortunate are covered with lead-pencil
inscriptions, recording the names of
those shallow-minded visitors to whom
such a distinction is n pleasure. A
lead pencil mark seems to be a
very harmless defacement, but names
bearing date of 1880 are still dis
coverabe through the thin deposit
of silica. and il this marking
should 90 on unchecked, in very
few years these once beautiful forma-
tions will have become unsightly and
unattractive objects. At the Upper
Geyser Basin, names with date of June,
1886, have been chiseled into the solid
geyserite so deep, that, in the slow pro-
cess of nature, many years must elapse
before this mutilation will be obliter-
ated. Not content with the deface-
ment OF the formations, efforts are con.
stantly being made 10 destroy the
geysers themselves, by throwing into
them sticks, logs of wood and all sorts
of distractions The eruptive force OF
several of the geysers has been totally
destroyed by vandalism of this charar-
ter. The footsteps of the throngs of
visitors are wearing away the deli
cate, and lace-like tracery of the sili-
cious deposits, and in q few years the
formations surrounding the geysers
will present the appearance of the worn
pavemen Is of city street. The willful
DETACHMENT of the beautiful objects can
only be prevented by watchful super
vision, supported by the rigid enforce
ment of lawful penalties. A certain
amount of wear and deterioration, Incl.
dent to the multitude of visitors, is
probably unavoidable. ~ Golden Rule.

THE GREEN TURBAN.

1t was October "a, Island the thick,
melancholy afternoon was sinking into
murky night We sat, that is |, the
youngest of the family, our old invalid
mother, and Edward, Just returned
from a voyage to San FranciscO-we
sat about the fire in the long, low draw
ing-roOm, while our sister Charlotte
went to her own room to lie down. She
had taken long walk by the cliffs and
the sands with Edward-tOO long, he
thought, considering that she had just
recovered from the prOstratiOn cOnse-
quent ON a too assiduOus nursing of
mother-and he kept glancing anxious
ly toward the door as if he would follow
her.
Poor Lofty" he said, I'm afraid
she's not nearly well yet, mother; and
she complained while we were out Of
her eyes smarting with the sea air"
She's been far from strong for a good
while now, poor child" said mother;
"and she's been poor one to sleep
since she watched with me so much. L
hope, do, she's not going to be i'll
AT this suggestion we sat silent and
looked at the fire. We sat thus for some
time until our servant entered and an
nounced that tea was ready. We had
little more than sat down when we were
startled by a shrek, and the servant
rushed back into the dining-rOOm as
pale as dish-cloth.
"Oh, misSusp she cried; "oh, master!
But I've Just met Miss Charlotte at the
door of her room looking so fearsome
like, and she caught hold of me and
tried to speak, but couldn't, and it took
me so sudden and she looked so queer
that ran away"
In an instant we were all out of the
room and into CharlOtte'S. She lay on
her bed either asleep or in faint.
"She has tainted" said mother.
"But what is this?" exclaimed Ed
ward, showing large scar across her
left wrist. sect some water" said he
to me, while mother produced her smell

Edward CHANGED to touch, perhaps to
press, her left hand, and that did more
than either the salts or the water to
bring her around. She WINGED as with
pain, withdrew her hand, looked round
slowly upon us, and then with a sudden
turn glanced fearfully behind her.
"Have you found him? Have you
seen him?" she demanded.
Him. we glanced at her and at each
other. "WhO?"
oh" said she after a reflective pause.

her hand and saw the scar across her

and gave him clear track. Within 20
minutes the fOaming horses stopped in

still lighted and the doors wide open.
Dean rang the bell violently and turned
into the deserted parlors.
Mrs. MOXOn herself hurried down

in the proper directions; your notion,
captain, accounts for the story, but not
for the stigmata. Let me tell you some
thing which will bring the suggestion
step nearer your sisters case. L knew
a lady who one day from the end of the
hall saw the door swing to in a sudden
draught upon the fingers of her little
boy. She was so struck with horror for
the moment that she could not stir nor
cry out, but she felt sudden dart of
pain into her own fingers which made
her almost faint. She heard no cry
from the boy; she went and opened it.
The boy was unhurt, but her fingers
were as if they had been caught in the
door, and 1 thought they had been when
/ went to see her. / have heard of sew
eral similar cases-all women, and wo-
men of extreme sensibility. Now" said
he, your sisters case is in some of its
features like these. She is very sensi-
tive, and her sensitivenesS has been in
creased by"-with glance at mother
"by recent illness; she has the stigmata
for, rather, the stigma, and not only
the stigma, but the pain. But, so far
we can see, it wants the most essential
pOint-a sufficient antecedent cause. In
the case have mentioned there was
that; the mother saw her boy bruised,
as she thought, before her eyes. / can't
consider" said he, turning more par
ticularly to the Captain, that merely
to dream of being stunned and burned
is enough to produce marks so very like
those of stunning and burning; there
must, l think, have been some stronger
compelling cause, and what that is we
must try to find out. Yes. You don't
